WILMINGTON, TRNN June 16.-This
place, known first as Glencoe, was
moved nearly one mile to where it
now is, and Is only eight years old.
Considering the short period of time
it has existed, it has done unusually
well in Improvements and progress.
1t has very fertile and productive
country around it, the population
dense, and about one-half white, the
other colored. The country is level
especially adapted to cotton and corn,
but everything grows we'll that is suit
ed to this climate. Fifty bushels Of
corn or bale Of cotton 10 the acre are
common. The foe timber on the
lands in the vicinity has been utilized
within the last three years, and larger
shipments OF stone aud lumber have
been made from this point than any
other on the road, perhaps. Three to
four car leads of lumber per day has
been the average for over three years.
and stones have been sent from here
to all parts of the world. Millington
has a pump factory, or there are two
branches tnat do pump work, which,
1t is claimed, do the most extensive
work Of the kind of any factory in the
United States. The Tennessee branch
furnishes the pumps in "the rough"
and the Toledo branch finishes them
up or completes the work. The popu-
latlon is near 800. The business
houses are on each side of the Paducah
road, and it has some very nice resi-
dences scattered on both sides of the
railroad. also. But there is zone lot"
in the place which is somewhat dis
tinct from all the balance, as 1t is,
strange to cay, situated on the corner
OF four different tracts OF land. A gin
here ginned 1900 bales last season and
others around did q good business.
There seems to be a good feeling be.
tween the whites aud blacks in this
section, everybody hard at work and

An Enemy Of the Clique Who Made
the Corner.
NRw YeRK, June 1.-THE Times
prints the following: Though earnest
efforts were made to the very close of
the big wheat deal at Chicago to con-
vince the public that P. D. Armour
was largely intereated as a partner
with the clique, nobody any longer
suspects that he had any such rsla-
ton to it. There are reasons for be-
lieving, indeed, that he not only was
not partner, but that he was in q
quiet way the most effective opponent
that the clique had. Some very in
teresting stories were floating around
Wall street yesterday, which named
him as responsible for the sensational
collapse in the oW famous corner.
Private dispatches from Washington
add strength to this theory and con-
meet Mr.. Armour in some exceedingly
significant transactions with WASH
ington stock brokerage house having
connections in Wall street, house
that in many past deals has been
closely identified with Mr.. Armour's
interests. This house, it appears, set
in motion demand for an official in
vestigation by the Treasury Depart
ment of the status Of certain Western
National banks quoted as involved in
the wheat corner. The Comptroller
listened to statements that were quite
strong enough and explicit enough to
warrant him in ordering an investiga-
ton, and official examiners were hur-
ried from Washington to overhaul the
accounts Of the suspected banks. The
Fidelity National Bank OF Cincinnati,
OF whose relations to the wheat corner
good deal has been said, and
the Mercantile National Bank Of
Cleveland, were the banks &C.
cused, The examiners started West,

NKW YORK, June 1.-THE st. Pau
directors party have returned to New
York from their Western trip, but will
not talk on the matter OF a successor
to President Mitchell. They intimate
thst no president will bs elected until

ton Of the story that Vice President

take the position as soon as he gets
everything in shape to leave the
Northern Pacific Company. Although
he was granted three months leave
of absence by the Northern Pacific
directors a month ago he has not YET

New YORK, June 1.-THE desperate
condition of the affairs Of District AS
sembly 40 continues to be the topic Of
discussion in Knights Of Labor circles.
There is general rejoicing among the
opponents OF the Home Club. The
leaders of the Home Club were so
anxious that they held secret confer
ence. Those present were Harry Tay-
lor, assistant secretary st the general
Office OF the order in Philadelphia /;
Thomas B. Mcclure, Victor Drury,
James E. Q1inn, the district master
workman, Timothy Pullman Quinn,
treasurer; Hugh Gary, of District AS
sembly AZ, and come lesser lights. The
conference lasted for four hours and
was held at Quinn's house. Aplan of
campaign Was made TO uphold the
waning power Of the club in the dis.
trict. One Of the district delegates
said to a reporter that it was too late,
When the proper time came the club
would be extinguished. The delegate
said that not Home Club
man would be elected next month
to represent the district in the
General Assembly, not even t. B. Nc
Guire. The delegate continued: I'VE
kept them in power because we were
hoodwinked. Now we see that these
men have used us to bet er their posi-
ton. That ends their authority. Tie
club has now the trustees and all the
best men OF the district against It, The
consequence will be that harmonious
relations will be established with
other districts, and even Powdsrly
himself will rejoice. These men have

In spite of tho opposition of tho rector, $500 was
raised by contributions and the window was pur-

failed, and then secret meeting was held TO de-
